I had to find some way to entertain myself, so I made up stories in my mind. One night I started writing them down and never stopped.

About Robin

Ranty night owl writer of The Empire State Vamps. Love Lies Bleeding - A writer of paranormal suspense discovers that dating a vampire is more than a pain in the neck - it's a pain in the ass. "No one nags like an old, superior, self-righteous vampire." And no one throws a barbecue like a werewolf. I also write about witches, ghosts, fairies, and fairy tales. I take pictures, draw pictures, collect dolls, garden, and have the obligatory 2.5 obnoxious spoiled cats (one of them counts as one and a half.) Solitary Wiccan.

Reading binge

Standard

I was reading that “juvenile” book from my childhood but I got sidetracked after Tanith Lee died, and I picked up one of her books and started re-reading it. After reading this extensive obituary of Ms. Lee (sent to me by my friend Rowena, thank you again) I decided I needed to go on a reading binge and read all the books by Tanith Lee that I have. She was such an influence on my writing and my interest in the paranormal, fairy tales, mythology, and female characters that go out into the world and change the world and themselves that I want to reread her books with the eye and mindset of a writer.
